I use the Stellarmate app on android to connect to a raspberry PI 4 running Stellarmate OS.

I like how the Targets module shows on the app. Specifically how it shows the images for various objects, along with an altitude vs time graph. It helps me to plan what I want to see at a given time.

But the "Find object" feature in KStars on Windows only shows search results in a pop window. I also cannot see any images for the messier objects that the app shows. So my questions are:

1. What database does the app use to show images for the Messier and NGC objects? And how can I use the same database on the windows application?
2. Is there a way to customize the view for the "Find object" feature in KStars in Windows, to make it show the same features that the app shows?
